The president, vice president and secretary of the Jasper County Temperance Union have deeided not to announce a meeting of the society for the month of December. 1878, hut postpone it oqe week. The reasons for this aetion are, first, that the regular time of meeting, (the last Mon day of December) falls jq the midst of the holidayJfestivities, when people arc apt to be employed with other affairs; and, secondly, because at the time of the month these meetings have been held the nights are always without a moon: by chaugiorr over tme week light evenings will be had the year round. The programme prepared for the meeting that will be hold in the M. E. church Monday night. January tith, 1870, is as follows: 1. Opening aoog by M. E. church choir. 2. Prayer by Eld. Hope B.
